Paroles de Alexander

Alexander, you said "never lender not borrower be"But i didn't proffer my love, it was stolen from meJust a token, a trophy; it's gathering dustAnd the space where it once was is filling with doubt and mistrustAlexander, you're conquering me.

Let's call off the battle - i've no ammunition preparedAnd i'm not gonna fight you on this common ground that we've sharedBut one final encounter's what my heart demandsWhen it's reaching for you like the waves reaching out to the sandsAlexander, you're conquering me.

Alexander, who told you you could wear that crown?Alexander, my defenses are all coming down...If you wanted a war then why did you advanceOn the one who would travel the earth for one kiss on your hands?

There's a bittersweet note to be found inside every sad tuneYour heart seemed to wax, and then waned like a phase of the moonAnd in panic, or guilt, your advances adjourned,But you left all your salt on my shore like the tide when she turnedAlexander, you're conquering me

And if i surrendered, what would you do?And could you stay strong if i said i loved you?

Well, maybe i'm cracking up, maybe i'm losing my mindStill, cracks can be filled in and papered right over in time,But confessions just shatter beyond disrepairSo i'll just bite my tongue in the hope you'll remember i'm there

Alexander, who told you you could wear that crown?Alexander, my defenses are all coming down...If you wanted a war then why did you advanceOn the one who would die just to place one sweet kiss on your hands?

If you wanted a war then why did you advanceOn the one who would travel the earth for one kiss on your hands?Alexander, you're conquering meAlexander, you're conquering meAlexander, you're conquering me
